I have an 00 with 90,000 miles on it. Here are all the repairs done.

FITV (fast idle thermo valve) replacement done in 2003. This ran about $250.
1 new set of brake pads. I got OEM replacements for $40 per axel.
2 new sets of wheel hubs/bearings. This ran $70 each and I needed 2. Installation costs were around $100.

91 accord ex w/177000 miles. Burns a little oil on start up. Otherwise runs great. Need to do the timing belt, leaking rack and pinion, and the flex joint in the exhaust leaks. When the weather gets warm again here in MI. Bought this car for mpg reasons. My other two vehicles, Suburban and F150, are not too good on gas.

1993 Acura Vigor - 150,000 miles, 190 compression across the board, rebuilt head last year but only to increase performance
